View Original Description
American Fossil is giving you the opportunity of a lifetime. We have the only quarry in the world where you have the opportunity to dig fossils and keep every fossil you find. We have recently acquired the South Dempsey Quarry, in the Green River Formation and want to make it the most exciting destination in the world for families and everyone who loves fossils. Think of it as your own fossil expedition or safari. This is a world famous quarry, well known for its fossil fish, and one of only two locations in the world where a complete 3-Toed Horse has been found. At the quarry you can also find stingrays, shrimp, gar, paddlefish, amia, pike, diplomystus, knightia, and even turtles, crocodiles, bats, birds, ancient rhinos and camels, primates, and much more.
We are located near Kemmerer Wyoming, just 65 minutes from Bear Lake, and Evanston and 2.5 hours from Salt Lake City and Park City and 4 hours from Yellowstone .
Please note that visitors bringing pets to the quarry are only allowed to have their pets in the parking area and they must be kept on a leash at all times.
